What?!" Frederick was exasperated. "How could that be? The best someone could do was become a level one royal saint while entering the secret realm being a level nine saint with the help of the alchemical pills. It's beyond insane if someone could become a level two royal saint in the period he stayed in the secret realm and that would require the person to be a genius to do so. It's just impossible. No one can become a level three or level four royal saint within such a short time frame."It would require a genius at least at Frederick's level to achieve that. However, he disallowed and refused to believe there was another genius like him.However, Marcus thought it was quite possible. He nodded. "I think that must be it. There must be another genius who entered the secret realm and killed our members easily. That is the best possible explanation for our casualties."The Great Elder thought of that possibility and said, "Do you mean you suspect the one who killed our members is som
Frederick balled up his hand and felt a flash of irritation. Ever since he came back from the Skyblue Sect, he felt betrayed because of Gilda. He wanted to teach the Skyblue Sect a lesson and let Gilda know the consequences of offending him by telling the members to target all of the members of the Skyblue Sect when they were in the secret realm.It just did not occur to him that that was the reason many of their members were killed in the secret realm and the members of the Skyblue Sect were stronger. A fresh swell of rage rose in him."What the hell are you guys thinking of?" Marcus glared at Frederick and said, "Whatever happened in the secret realm stayed in the secret realm. What would the others think of us if the others knew about it? We, the strongest sect in this world, would end up as a laughing stock!"The Second Elder sighed. "I understand what you are saying but the damage is too huge."Marcus sneered and said, "Even so, that's not the reason for us to fight the Skyblu
"That guy is now a level four royal saint?" Frederick was aghast to hear that.The Great Elder lamented, "Damn, another genius for the Skyblue Sect? They had Gilda and now another genius who joined their sect!"Marcus frowned and said, "Severin Feuillet? Why does this name sound so familiar?""I believe we saw him before when you brought Frederick to propose to Gilda the last time. There was a young man standing in the hall but he didn't say anything to leave any deep impression to us," the Great Elder said.That reminded the Second Elder, "Oh, I remember it now. Wulricht did introduce him to us. I think he said Severin is his senior brother's disciple. But we didn't take too much notice of him. Gosh, I didn't know he is actually a genius."Marcus clenched his fist. "So that's Severin. I remember it now. Wow, he's a level four royal saint now."Frederick scoffed. "What a brutal guy. He better pray hard that he won't be meeting me. Or I'm going to kill him. Dad, did you also say G
In addition, no one actually made fun of Severin for being together with Gilda. Instead, many thought Severin was a good man and a loving man who was willing to accept all the flaws Gilda had because he loved her. When Severin found out about it, he actually had a laugh about it.During the past month, Severin would accompany Gilda shopping or out for a walk when he had free time. While in the night, he would concentrate on producing more fifth-grade low-rank alchemical pills.After one month, Severin went to look for Felipe and Wulricht.Then Wulricht reacted excitedly. "What did you just say? You are giving the sect fifth-grade low-rank alchemical pills? Oh, yes, I heard that you have been busy producing pills for the past month. If you are able to give us around two hundred of them, we're able to smaller the gap between us and the Horizon Sect."Felipe had the same reaction as well. "Yes. We did gather a lot of resources after killing many members of the Horizon Sect and we have
Severin nodded in agreement. "Yes, uncle-master, you're right.""What? Are you going to continue to call me that?" Wulricht teased.Severin smiled. "I think I can call you uncle-master, Sect Leader, and my father-in-law. Isn't it right?""Haha. True. I'm all of those!" Wulricht chuckled cheerfully. He was more than happy and satisfied to have Severin marry Gilda.As he thought, he reminded, "Hey, don't forget the wedding is in three days time. I've already informed everyone. We're going to celebrate for three days. I know you are busy with training but don't forget about it."Severin smiled. "Don't worry. I won't forget about the wedding."Wulricht continued on to talk about the detail, "It's going to be everyone in the sect and I don't plan on inviting any outsider. It can also be a chance to celebrate our sect turning a new page."After hearing that, a thought struck Severin. "Hold on. Didn't the Great Elder just say he's going to inform all the disciples who are eligible to u
Those who were informed were clueless. Kara and Heidi were selected by Felipe too. They got together and chatted."Hey, did you get the notice too? Do you know why the Great Elder wants us to train in the forbidden area?" Heidi smiled bitterly.Kara nodded. "From what I heard, those who are selected are within the range of level eight saints to level two royal saints. The sect could have prepared something good for us.""Haha. I do hope so. I'm already looking forward to it now. Although the environment is not as pleasant as here, I do hope the sect could surprise us with something good." Heidi chuckled.Another day passed. It was the wedding day. Just like Wulricht said, the sect celebrated for three days in a row. Everyone was very happy celebrating the joyous moment. Some of the female disciples had even prepared programs such as singing or dancing to entertain everyone.Gilda was very happy too. Finally, she could be together with Severin without fear of people talking about h
"What? We're not allowed to leave if we didn't become level four royal saints? How long is that going to take? Years, the very least. I'm just a level eight saint now. It makes sense for me to become a level one royal saint in a short period. But how long is it going to take me to become a level four royal saint?" a disciple said hopelessly.Being closed up in solitude was not a problem. However, the time required to become a level four royal saint was too long and all of them had problem accepting it.Another disciple complained, "It's going to take too long for that to happen. Leveling up is extremely hard when we become a royal saint. There are so many of us here. Can you guarantee all of us can become level four royal saints?"As a female disciple, she felt uncomfortable with the restriction because she knew it was going to take her years to become a level four royal saint. Which meant she was not going to see her parents and siblings for years.At that moment, Felipe and Wulri
"With the help of this alchemical pill, the speed of our breakthrough is going to be fast. Countless royal saints would be fighting hard just to get their hands on this alchemical pill!""Geez, I know the Horizon Sect does not have a fifth-grade low-rank alchemist in their sect. Yet, Mister Severin is one now. Haha. Sooner or later, we're going to replace the Horizon Sect and become the strongest sect in the world."The disciples were excited to receive the alchemical pills. Now they were feeling confident about becoming level four royal saints within a short time frame. From what they heard, they realized the supply was going to be constant and enough for everyone. Thus, it would not be a problem for a level eight saint to become a level four royal saint within six months. Heck, that was doable within two to three months. Felipe was the one who said six months and he was already being cautious of the timeline."Alright. Off with the training now. Don't disappoint us and Mister Seve
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
